The publication was A Memorial of the Marriage of HRH Albert Edward Prince of Wales and HRH Alexandra Princess of Denmark by H H Russell. The Various Events and Bridal Gifts Illustrated by Robert Dudley, published by Day and Son, London, Lithographers to the Queen & to HRH the Prince of Wales. Here is a link to a description of the lithography process http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits/color/lithogr.htm Dudley’s illustrations have been viewed as quite accurate. Here are photos I have taken when using the volume at my state library, of the cover, left, and the title page.
